Save the Oswego Lighthouse!

The H. Lee White Marine Museum is working in cooperation with the City of Oswego as the City considers the acquisition of the Oswego West Pierhead Lighthouse. Upon a unanimous vote by the City Common Council, Acting Mayor Randolph Bateman forwarded a Letter of Interest to the U.S. General Services Administration representative within the required sixty-day response time for items of disposal. Upon acceptance of the Letter of Interest, the City will then have ninety days in which to develop a master plan for maintenance and care of the lighthouse and meet GSA and SHPO requirements for such properties.

The Oswego West Pierhead Lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A separate fund is being created for those interested in contributing to this effort and will be administered by the Marine Museum at this time. Contact the Museum office for more information. (315) 342.0480.
